Dominant CEO and His First Lady

Chapter 6 Idea

Having relied on each other for so long, this was the first time that Ziye felt the stirring of affection. Raina, who initially had no intention, stopped just one centimeter away from Ziye's body. She silently took Ziye's hand and placed it gently on her right atrium. "This question, you have to ask it!" Seeing Ziye's bewildered expression, Raina couldn't help but tease, "Did you hear the answer you wanted?" Afterwards, Raina placed Ziye's hand back on her heart. Ziye, feeling awkward, hesitated and placed his hand on his own heart, but his body seemed stiff, as if not under his control. Raina, amused, said, "It seems you still haven't heard it clearly!" Ziye initially didn't understand the meaning behind Raina's actions. However, when Raina placed his hand back on her heart, Ziye seemed to truly understand. Thoughts, this kind of thing, only oneself can hear. It's inexplicable, indescribable, and cannot be expressed. But at least, oneself knows how to act. Ziye believed that Raina should know what to do next. Ziye began to think that Raina would eventually emerge from sorrow; it was just a matter of time.

Ziye firmly stated, "No, I heard it clearly. I believe you won't let us down." Raina's lips curled up slightly, then she resumed her original expression. It seemed that he understood her a bit. However, Ziye noticed this subtle gesture, and they both tacitly refrained from exposing it. Raina triumphantly said, "I'm going back; you should too!" Ziye quickly stood up and said, "Let me walk you home!" "No need; we're not going the same way." It was only when Ziye stood up that he realized his hand was still on his heart. He gathered the courage to say, "I want to visit Uncle and Aunt. That way, we'll be on the same path!" Raina casually replied, "Then let's go together!" After Ziye removed his hand from his heart, he realized Raina was right. Sometimes, when we don't know what to do, this position can find the answer. As long as we follow our hearts, every choice can be made without regrets. This was Ziye's first decision following his inner self, and it seemed to turn out well. On the way to accompany Raina home, they both silently walked their own paths. Raina, overwhelmed with sadness, had no mood for conversation. Ziye did not break their silence, thinking that in silence, they could hear the voices within themselves more clearly.

Ziye had promised Raina a quiet space, and Raina indeed needed time to calm down. On the way, Ziye silently handed his handkerchief to Raina. "Wipe your face." It was the first time Ziye had seen a girl disregard her own appearance. Raina originally had no intention of taking Ziye's handkerchief. After all, it should be considered something private. Especially considering their unclear relationship, Raina didn't understand why Ziye cared for her so much. But seeing Ziye's hand consistently in front of her, Raina felt uneasy keeping him waiting for too long. She awkwardly accepted the handkerchief. "Thank you." After wiping her face haphazardly, Raina was about to throw it into the nearby trash bin. However, upon seeing the delicate craftsmanship and fabric of the handkerchief, she vaguely regretted it. Particularly noticing the embroidery, Raina began to say with some regret, "I'll wash it and give it back to you." Raina didn't want any connection with Ziye. In fact, from the beginning, Raina already felt indebted to Ziye, especially since the moment they collided in the hall, Raina had become entangled with Ziye. Ziye, somewhat shyly, nodded. He didn't really care about the handkerchief, but seeing Raina so proactive, he didn't want to disappoint her. Moreover, this handkerchief might be the only connection between them, and it might give them an excuse for the next meeting. Raina instinctively put the handkerchief in her pocket.

When Ziye accompanied Raina to the doorstep of her home, Raina suddenly stopped and turned to Ziye. "You go back first. This is far enough." Ziye, looking serious, said, "Didn't I tell you I came to see Uncle and Aunt, and then I would take you back?" Raina, insisting, said, "Do you really think I would believe your words?" Seeing Raina's serious expression, Ziye couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, go in. I'll prove to you that this is not just my words!" Ziye casually took Raina's arm, and Raina could only follow Ziye inside. After Raina and Ziye entered the home, the first to come out was Zhou Lin. The moment he saw Ziye, he greeted him with a smile, "Xiaoye, why did you come over?" Zhou Lin's gaze subconsciously shifted to Raina's arm. Raina, realizing her father's surprised look, couldn't help but let go of Ziye's hand and turned to walk upstairs. "You talk. I'll go back to my room." Ziye originally wanted to say something to retain her, but seeing Raina gradually moving away, Ziye could only hesitate and shift his gaze back to Zhou Lin.

"Uncle, since I've safely brought Raina home, I should go back now." Zhou Lin then realized that Ziye had come for his daughter's sake. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "Raina's matters have troubled you. I hope she didn't cause you any inconvenience. If she has brought you any trouble, I hope you can understand." Lili, who was standing nearby, also approached. Upon seeing Ziye, she couldn't help but show a kind look. Based on their families' private relationship, Lili was not unfamiliar with Ziye. When they were children, their families' children used to visit each other often, so Lili had long treated Ziye as her own child. Ziye, seeing Lili approaching, cordially said, "Hello, Auntie!" Lili also took Ziye's hand. "You've come. Stay for lunch." Ziye did consider staying, hoping to have a few more words with Raina. However, considering he still had business to attend to, he hesitated.
